7 Common Pregnancy Mistakes That Increase Risk of Postnatal Complications

Published 2023-10-11
In this video, Physiotherapist Meghan Stephenson shares her best tips for pregnant women to modify the way you do many common daily activities to help minimise the risk of experiencing post-birth urinary incontinence, abdominal separation, prolapse, back pain, and ongoing pelvic pain.
These changes can help protect your abdominals and pelvic floor, along with your back and hips.
While this certainly doesn't guarantee that you won't experience any issues post-birth, it can help you reduce the likelihood and severity of these common conditions.
As always, I hope this helps!

Thanks for watching! I remember trying to get into and out of bed when I was pregnant and it was hard work! Once I learn the log roll it made all the difference! Which thing are you going to tweak? Don't forget to check out our new channel Prenatal Exercise by Brightest Beginning (youtube.com/@PrenatalExercisebyBB?si=O9uIxka3X2dDQ….

Thank you for bringing awareness about this topic Emma! Not a lot of people know how to properly protect their pelvic floor and core in pregnancy. The technique Meghan showed to get in and out of bed can also be used postpartum (especially after a C-section). Great video!
-
Yes! 🌟Exercise and moving properly during pregnancy is crucial. Postpartum exercise that focuses on the core and pelvic floor while also addressing issues related to diastasis is also super necessary. Sounds like a great program.
-
That stroller handle tip is awesome - just walked my daughter to daycare and it felt completely different
-
Thank you! I am 32 weeks pregnant and it has become somewhat challenging to find comfortable positions
-
I just started having this horrible pelvic pain. This video is helping me to realize I’ve been doing a lot of things wrong! Thanks for the video!
-
Needed that pram tip. Thank you
-
Definitely going to the exercise channel thank you!!
-
33 weeks here and the roll to get out of bed usually works (have to work around my giant pregnancy pillow as well, it dows its job a little too well!), love the tips for picking up your toddler! Thank you!
-
This video is so great! Thank you for sharing it!
-
Love this workout, thanks a lot! Ended super sweaty and feeling like I can go for another one at 37 weeks!
-
I learned the leg roll from my chiropractor. It definitely made a difference, would have been nice to know how to hold my toddler when i was pregnant though, he was 14kg in my 3rd trimester and still in a cot. Wasnt fun trying to pick him up haha.
-
I have been thinking of this all week. Thank you for making this video. I'll go back to this frequently ❤❤
-
This was so helpful being 14 weeks pregnant
-
I’d love if this became a series to address specifically mentioned issues from the comments. My biggest one is static standing while cooking/doing dishes/waiting in line, etc. I’ve been standing with one leg elevated on a stool (or the cart if we’re at a store) but as my belly gets bigger, I experience so much discomfort and dizziness while standing for long-ish durations of time.
-
I’m 22 weeks thanks for this ❤
-
I love this!
-
Thank you! I just need this being 22 weeks pregnant
-
This just got recommended, perfect timing, 22 weeks pregnant. Thank you!
-
Glad I found this video :) I’m 8 weeks and have been taking movements slower so as to reduce discomfort in every day life. I’ll be more cautious and use these tips from here on out. Thanks ladies!!!
